A large-scale GWAS led by King’s IoPPN and collaborators has identified the largest number of genetic associations with #anxiety to date. The study linked genetic data to severity of symptoms rather than the yes/no category of a clinical diagnosis. ➡️ www.maudsleybrc.nihr.ac.uk/news/novel-g...

🔗We found genetic correlations with 64/105 traits, incl. depression & anxiety disorders (rg=0.71-0.85), OCD (0.58), IBS (0.57), migraine (0.27) & endometriosis (0.27). These may reflect shared genetic risk or anxiety linked to living with a condition, but don't imply causation.
